Although the construction and management of public toilets is a trivial matter, it is related to the livelihood of the people and is an important manifestation of the civilization of a city. On the occasion of “World Toilet Day”, Xinhuanet interviewed Wanlong, a member of the Party Leadership Group and Deputy Director of the Chongqing Urban Management Bureau, and asked him to share how Chongqing has effectively promoted the “toilet” in front of public demand and the influx of tourists. revolution”.
The design of urban public toilets should be people-oriented.
In recent years, Chongqing has carried out special works such as “Practical data on the livelihoods of new public toilets in the main urban area” and “Progressive improvement of the quality of urban public toilets”. The number of urban public toilets in the city has steadily increased, the public toilet service system has been fully established, and the level of service has improved considerably. Since 2018, more than 800 baths have been built or rebuilt in the city center. At present, there are 4.25 urban public toilets for every 10,000 people (including temporary residents) in the central city, and the density of public toilets reaches 4.31 per square kilometer.
“In terms of the number and structure of public toilets, we have vastly improved our ability to serve the needs of citizens and tourists.” According to Bandung, Chongqing has compiled the “Master Plan of Urban Sanitation Facilities (2019-2035)”, which includes public toilets Special Article, clarifies the number and arrangement of public toilets.
As for how to improve the design of public toilets, Bandung believes that it is necessary to start from simplicity, practicality and economy, and closely integrate the needs of citizens and the reality of urban management. The design of urban public toilets should be people-oriented, fully functional, flawless, hygienic and adequate, beautiful in appearance and harmonious in the environment. At present, Chongqing has improved the key elements of the service, such as the ratio of male and female toilets, the third toilet, barrier-free facilities, ventilation equipment, deodorization and daylighting, mother and baby facilities, children’s toilets, equipment disinfection and smart equipment.
Construction of public toilets must keep up with urban development
When “net celebrity attractions” arise in the old town, and the local area does not have a sewage network that meets the conditions for the construction of public toilets, what should be done in response to the demand of a large number of tourists? Bandung suggested that it can be solved by prefabricated building technology and water microcirculation technology.
Through ecological microbial decomposition and the sewage system, the faeces are separated from the source and rapidly decomposed into microbial fertilizers. No need to flush after the toilet. This makes the environment of the toilet fresh and hygienic and gives off the smell of the toilet. These “no water, no water, no infrastructure, no emissions, no odors” eco-friendly toilets eliminate the dependency of public toilets on urban water supply and the sewer network. Now they have been implemented in Chongqing’s Kowloon Square, the city’s zoo and the Jianchuan museum. request.
In addition, Bandung presented that the construction speed of the prefabricated public toilets is also a great advantage. “Our traditional public toilets will take about half a year to build.
Explore the connotation and scope of the “bathroom revolution”
Bandung believes that public toilets continue to evolve with the development of our city, and with the improvement of urban civilization, public toilets should also enrich its connotations.
Previously, Chongqing planned to formulate the “Incremental Quality Improvement” Implementation Plan (2020-2022) for urban public toilets. “In the past, our focus was more on quantity, but now we need to improve quality.” Bandung believes that the construction of public toilets should not only focus on people, but also improve the technological content of public toilets to meet the increasing convenience of citizens. , Personalization, experience and diversified needs.
Bandung said that Chongqing is using big data, the Internet of things and 5G technology to give new functions to traditional toilets, increase the spaces of public toilets and application scenarios, and turn the toilets into an urban infrastructure with integrated public service spaces. . How to explore new models and scenes like “toilet + new retail”, “toilet + new media”, “toilet + community social media”, add temperature control, wait to browse, buy online, listen to the toilet scan code , facial recognition paper supply, service Participate in new experimental features, such as assessment, and explore the connotation and extent of the “bathroom revolution”.
“Currently, Chongqing High-Tech Zone and Liangjiang New District are introducing specialized companies to carry out the planning, design and construction of these public toilets. It is expected that next year there will be a batch of these public toilets. experimental to serve our Chongqing citizens and foreign tourists. ” Bandung Say.
